The Underground of Happiness

More Quarter . Asked and given. In The Nest which is the outdoor section of Coughlans and I could hear the tunes on the way down High Street in the afternoon. Belfast 4-piece. Pleasingly stoner vibe. Major Pavement buzz. Twin guitar attack/glorious jangle. Also featuring nice organ when it decided to work. Some psych wig out action. Sublime. Plus the singer has a lovely falsetto. Occasionally. I already loved Tears in Costa. Hearing it live made my day. Thanks for coming south folks. Listening Face played first. Dan Breen and friends. Dan is one of the best singers I know. Like, a belter. They made an excellent noise. Plus they enjoyed themselves. As did all of us. Thanks Quarter. The Dust Has Come To Stay by Junk Drawer

Quarter Festival . Used to be known as Quarter Block Party . QBP . Same great shit. Different name. Ana Palindrome are a 3-piece. Violin/guitar. Bass. Synths. Experimental pop music you could dance to. More about them later in this series. They sounded and looked great against the chapel’s stained glass windows. Muireann Levis was on support. She did great things with a laptop and a few other gizmos. Intriguing sound design. Another win for QBP.
